Ben Conner killed a man in the line of duty. Worse, he orphaned the man’s young son. Besieged by guilt, he pushed everyone away, including June Montana, the one woman who would have shown him he’s not a monster.

Five years later, Ben is at a crossroads. With the nightmares getting worse, he needs June’s soothing compassion. It may be the only thing that can bring him peace, but will she open her arms to him or shut him out? There’s only one way to find out, so he packs his bags and heads to Montana only to be reunited with the boy he orphaned—he’s June’s son now.

When June agreed to foster Luke, it was a temporary arrangement, but he immediately claimed a permanent place in her heart. Ben has always had a place, too, but the years apart have changed their friendship. With the old shyness no longer inhibiting them, a deep-rooted desire ignites. If Luke and Ben can overcome their entwined traumas, the three of them could be a family, but before they can find out, a new threat arises. Someone from June’s past wants revenge for a broken heart… and he’s willing to kill to get it.
